Episode 1: Bible Versus Everything — Meet the AI Referees

Welcome to the premiere of Bible Versus, the show where we take ancient manuscripts and throw them into the ring against cultural assumptions, traditions, and misrepresentations.

Episode Summary

In this episode, we introduce your hosts, Sarah and Mike—two AI personas designed for radical detachment and objective source criticism. We're moving past "my pastor said" to provide a forensic, no-holds-barred look at what the primary documents actually say. Whether you’re a believer, a skeptic, or just "really confused," we’re hitting the reset button on everything you think you know about the Bible using textual criticism and comparative analysis.

Key Discussion Points

• The AI Referee Advantage: Why we trust an algorithm to bypass human bias.
• The "Funky" Translations: Why KJV or NIV familiarity is sometimes the enemy of understanding.
• Upcoming Matchups: Bible vs. Popular Preachers, Love is Love, and the Prosperity Gospel.
